Chapter 33: A Girl's Heart (3)
The six brothers and sisters Xuan were born in this era, marriage and love are not free, and information is also blocked, so naturally they don't know as much love stories as Xia Ruixi, and they haven't experienced what real love is. They thought that they had met a few times and said a few words, and the other party made them not annoying, and they had a heart-warming feeling, that was the person they were looking for, so they wanted to spend their lives with that person.
Xia Ruixi, who is from another world and has gone through nearly 30 years of life, knows that love is beautiful, but reality is cruel. She always believes that in a person's life, the person who can get along with you and stay with each other for a long time is not determined by meeting casually a few times and feeling good. There are many people who you think you know well enough that they will be your life's support, only to find out years later that you don't know them at all, and this person is not the one you need the most. Although it is not excluded that the example of falling in love at first sight and staying together for a long time, it is full of accidents like winning the lottery, Xia Ruixi yearns for that kind of beauty, but never expects that she can get it, so she is still down-to-earth.
Since she didn't want to hear about Xuan Wu's love, and she fell asleep comfortably on the high bed and soft pillows, Xia Ruixi naturally wanted to sleep, and she did the same. Xuan Liu pushed her angrily: "You have no conscience, why did you fall asleep?" β
Xia Ruixi turned over and said vaguely: "In the past few days of the New Year, my mother has not been so strict, she has a good time, and she goes to bed very late every night." Really sleepy. He pulled the quilt and covered his face, refusing to open his eyes again. Xuan Liu was helpless, only blamed Xia Ruixi for not opening his mind, and was unhappy for Xuan Wu, and stayed for a while before falling asleep.
Mr. Xia's family went back after dinner in Xuanfu, and as soon as they got home, Xia Ruibei fell ill. I didn't eat or drink, and I cried silently in bed all day long. Master Xia looked at her a few times, but he couldn't tell what kind of disease she had. When I asked her, she didn't say anything, she asked the maids, and the maids didn't know anything.
Xia Ruixi naturally knew that Xia Ruibei had heart disease, but Mrs. Xia didn't ask, and she couldn't say it. She didn't dare to tell Mrs. Xia Xuanliu what she told her directly, for fear that she would take the initiative to mention her sister's marriage and talk about her future brother-in-law would make people think that she was not abiding by her etiquette, after all, she was a girl who had not yet decided on a marriage, and she should not discuss these things in private. However, as an older sister who cares about her sister, it seems that she should remind Mrs. Xia again.
So Xia Ruixi was accompanying Mrs. Xia to take care of the housework, and when Mrs. Xia worriedly mentioned Xia Ruibei's illness, she said euphemistically and worriedly in a timely manner: "Beibei and the sixth sister quarreled that day, and I don't know what to quarrel about, Beibei was still crying, she is competitive, could it be for this?" β
When Mrs. Xia heard this, she frowned and said, "Aren't the three of you together?" Why don't you know what the two of them are arguing about? Where have you been? "It's incredibly harsh.
Xia Ruixi was taken aback, and didn't understand what he said wrong, why did he make Mrs. Xia so angry? Then he said aggrievedly: "I am in the house." β
"Tell me, you're in the house, why don't you know what the two of them are arguing about?" Mrs. Xia put the brush in her hand on the pen stand, "When did you learn to lie to me?" β
Xia Ruixi stood solemnly with his hands down, pitiful: "As soon as we entered the door, Beibei saw the dowry embroidered by the sixth sister, and the two of them laughed at each other. I couldn't interject, so I went to the side to read a book, who knew that it wouldn't be a lot of effort, Beibei came over and pulled me and said that the sixth sister bullied her, but the sixth sister said that she didn't know the height of the sky, I was afraid that everyone would be punished, so I persuaded a few words, and finally didn't quarrel anymore. The reason why I didn't tell my elders at that time was because I felt that it was not a glorious thing, and I didn't deliberately lie to my mother, I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it in the future. β
As soon as she said this, Mrs. Xia understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and pointed to the stool next to her: "Do you know that the **** aunt mentioned to me that she wanted to propose to you for Xuan Wu?" Yan Bi stared at Xia Ruixi sternly. What she is most afraid of is that Xia Ruixi will meet Xuan Wu behind her back and have a personal relationship.
Xia Ruixi was so panicked that he didn't dare to sit: "My daughter doesn't know." Mother won't agree, right? β
Mrs. Xia said, "Do you want me to agree?" Still don't want to? β
Xia Ruixi shrank for a moment: "My daughter doesn't dare to say it." β
"If I tell you to, you can say it."
"My uncle is too strict, and my daughter is a little afraid of him. The fifth brother is just an elder brother in the eyes of his daughter. β
Mrs. Xia nodded and continued to do things, "You remember what you said, your fifth brother can only be your fifth brother forever, he is not suitable for you, and his family is not suitable for you." You are not allowed to speak to him alone. He sighed again, "Originally, the Ou family was good, but it's a pity that ......"
Xia Ruixi then remembered that there was no follow-up since the last birthday banquet of the Ou family, so he should be relieved. Although she didn't know what Mrs. Xia was based on to make the judgment that Xuan Wu was not suitable for her, she once again sighed that she was lucky to meet such a sensible mother, instead of thinking about kissing her mother. She was busy, and she was properly concerned about Xia Ruibei: "Beibei's daughter, I think that my mother should still ask Yan'er." β
"Zhen'er, you go and call Yan'er, don't let the third lady know." Seeing that Xia Ruixi was about to retire, Mrs. Xia stopped: "You are also here to accompany you, so that Yan'er's girl can play tricks with me." β
Xia Ruixi originally thought that it was better for her not to get involved in Xia Ruibei's affairs, but Mrs. Xia didn't let her go, so she had to stay.
Yan'er recounted the events of that day, but did not say why Xia Ruibei was sick. She has been with Xia Ruibei for the longest time, but she can often avoid when the people around Xia Ruibei are punished, which is inseparable from her intelligence and current affairs. Even if she knew that Xia Ruibei was angry and sick because the young master of the Sun family was a tuberculosis ghost, it was also the master's business, and the master would naturally make a judgment, and it had nothing to do with her as a subordinate, her duty was just to serve the master well.
Mrs. Xia smiled faintly when she heard this: "What is the matter, it turns out that the girls are ignorant and quarreling and talking nonsense, and they can't be true." Beibei is angry that her sixth sister doesn't give her face. β
Yan'er immediately smiled and said, "Yes, Madam is right." The third lady should have been angry with Miss Liubiao that day, and then sat in the cold wind and blew before she got sick. β
It's really a drum that doesn't need to be beaten with a hammer, and Mrs. Xia smiled with satisfaction: "Yan'er serve carefully, what is there to tell you quickly." β
After Yan'er retired, Mrs. Xia asked Xia Ruixi: "What do you think?" β
Xia Ruixi hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "My daughter thinks that there is no ground, Xuan Liu is a little competitive, but he is not a person who can tell lies." Besides, for the sake of my little sister's lifelong consideration, it's better to let people inquire. β
Mrs. Xia pondered for a while, and then arranged for Li Niang to quickly send someone to inquire about the affairs of the Sun family, asking that she must find a way to see the young master of the Sun family with her own eyes and figure out the matter. asked people to invite Master Xia in to discuss.
Waiting for Li Niang to take the order, Mrs. Xia said with a sad face: "If this thing is true, what can I do?" "The family business of the Sun family was carefully selected by her and Master Xia, it was because Xia Ruibei had a strong temperament and was afraid that she would be angry with her in-laws when she married in the past, so she deliberately chose the Sun family, which is rich in family background, but has no power and a gentle family. If this is true, her daughter is going to marry a tuberculosis ghost, it will be very different from her previous wishes, thinking that her daughter will suffer, Mrs. Xia can't help but be a little confused.
Xia Ruixi said cautiously: "My daughter thinks that if this is true, it should be considered in the long run." This is also because she knows that Mrs. Xia is not like Uncle Xuan, she has the outdated concept of "starvation is a small thing, a big loss of moderation", and she is a pair of parents who really love their children and think about their children, so she dares to say so. If it was someone else, she wouldn't dare to say anything if she had ten guts.
Mrs. Xia said: "You go and accompany your sister and persuade her to let go, everything is up to me and your father." β
Before Xia Ruixi walked to the door, Master Xia walked in angrily, walked in front of Mrs. Xia first, took her tea and drank it all in one gulp, and said angrily: "This Sun family doesn't know what crazy he is smoking!" What was said good in the morning, now I regret it! β
Mrs. Xia was startled, got up and said, "Which Sun family?" β
"Which Sun family? Naturally, it's Sun Yi's family! "Sun Yi is the name of Xia Ruibei's fiancΓ©.
"What does his family regret?" Mrs. Xia only hopes that she will regret her family, although she is embarrassed, it is better than mistaking her daughter's life.
Master Xia said: "Let's obviously talk to his family, and we will pass through the door when Beibei is sixteen." But now his family actually came to let us marry Beibei on March 29. Let's not say that our Beibei is still young, isn't it the first month? Two months, where is enough to prepare? His family clearly doesn't take us seriously! β
"Huh?" When Mrs. Xia heard this, she knew that it must be true, so the Sun family couldn't wait to let Xia Ruibei pass through the door, what to do when she passed the door? Chong Xibei. At that moment, he shouted, "You didn't promise them, did you?" β
Master Xia sighed: "I definitely don't want to, but the Sun family is very resolute." I had to find an excuse to say that you love your little daughter and want to discuss it with you, but people are still waiting in the hall. β
"I can't say yes!" Mrs. Xia hurriedly said, "I asked people to call you just now, just for this." At the moment, he repeated what Xuan Liu said, but he was so angry that Master Xia was furious, and scolded the Sun family for being unscrupulous and wanted to harm his daughter for life.
Mrs. Xia also shed tears: "We are hoping that she will have a better time, but who knows that the luck is not good to meet this family." It seems that this honest man will also do things that lack virtue, I can't believe it. β
Xia Ruixi hurriedly persuaded: "Dad, mother, don't worry. Didn't the person sent by Liniang to inquire not come back yet? How about figuring out a way to put it off and then think about it? β
Master Xia paced back and forth impatiently: "Drag!" Drag! Drag! Sooner or later, you will have to get married, can you still regret the marriage? Compared with his daughter's lifelong happiness, reputation and face are nothing, if he regrets his marriage, with the power of the Sun family, he will not dare to do anything to the Xia family. But Xia Ruibei wants to marry a good family in the future, but she can't. Don't talk about Xia Ruibei, even Xia Ruixi and Xia Ruiyu's marriage will also be greatly affected.
